An Instant Book Review & Summary (as well) Her name's Veronika and her life was almost perfect. She's pretty, she's smart and she's dying.
After years of success and enjoyment, she has realized that something is lacking. It was something she could never ever have for it was something she doesn't know.
For a longing with no definite solution, death was the only answer. So she decided to take fifty sleeping pills and write a nonsense suicidal note to be left on her bed.
But after becoming unconscious, she suddenly woke up. She was in Vilette, a mental hospital in Slovenia.
Her story slowly unfolds in this dreaded place (am I exaggerating or something?). A place where she found the real reason why she has to strive to live again.
Paulo Coelho takes the readers' into another perspective of looking at insanity and hope.
The freedom of thinking and dreaming without anyone stopping you, of doing and saying things the way you really want it to and loving someone with your whole heart knowing that you only have a day to live.
A book of miracle & second chances; chances to believe, love and live for the second time.
